The Life Of A Billionaires Wife

Chapter 15 Veronica Looking For Trouble

His cold gaze swept over Veronica for a moment before it shifted over to Xavier. “What is it? Have you gotten another girlfriend?”

Xavier had an evil grin as he wrapped an arm around Veronica’s waist. “Let me introduce her: this is Roni, my new girlfriend.” Then he looked at Veronica. “And this is Bloomstead’s famous young, talented bachelor who’s a devil in the business world, Matthew Kings.”

Although Xavier was singing Matthew’s praises, Veronica could somehow sense the insincerity behind his words, and she also sensed his distaste for Matthew. Incidentally, she also disliked Matthew, so she played along, turning to look at him and dipping her head. Then, she pretended not to know him as she greeted him. “So you’re Matthew Kings. Your name far precedes you. Now that we’ve met, you do indeed live up to your reputation.”

Matthew’s flawless, handsome face visibly darkened at her words.

Even his assistant behind him, Thomas, couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from twitching madly. Oh dear… Looks like Miss Murphy is challenging Young Master Matthew.

“Such an ugly woman is capable of catching your attention?” Matthew asked in a low voice.

“Haha, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

“Looks like Young Master Xavier’s eyesight isn’t exactly great. Why don’t I introduce you to a reputable ophthalmologist?”

“After being so used to seeing all these women with cakey makeup, I feel that a lady like Roni here is easier on the eyes.”

“Easier on the eyes? Or better at seduction?”

Matthew’s handsome features were as frigid as could be, his powerful aura putting pressure on Veronica. Despite that, Veronica simply hid her anger. She didn’t rebuke him.

“Hahaha…” Upon hearing Matthew’s words, Xavier tipped his head back and guffawed. All of a sudden, though, he pressed a hand to his chest. A wave of nausea hit him, and he bent over to try and throw up. After several moments of dry heaving, he wasn’t able to vomit anything up. He then put an arm around Veronica’s shoulder. “Roni, help me get out of here. I feel horrible.”

Veronica nodded. “Let’s go.” Rearranging Xavier’s arm in a natural manner around her shoulders, she then began to help Xavier out of the washroom. Matthew and Thomas didn’t step aside from the door even when they saw her approaching.
